Roger,

The kernel and only the kernel is called linux. Most of what makes the
distributions usable are the gnu tools and software. This is why a
number of developers for the gnu tools insist on calling a linux
system or distribution gnu/linux. When asked what he thought about it
Linus Travolds made it clear that the kernel was called linux!!
